I know I am probably in the minority here but I've always prefered the Filmation version of Modulok over the toy. I think that version is easier and less expensive to make. He can come with the two heads and a special tooled peg to place both of them into the same neck.

I think that would be a great idea, although I think they could pack in a couple of parts per figure so it could be done in about 10 months. I can see why MOC collectors would hate it, but BAF's are becoming more and more common these days.

I think Modulok will probably eventually see a release as it's own carded figure in the line. Probably won't happen for another 2 or years, though.

For Modulok, I'd like to see Mattel sell him at the oversized beast price like Battle Cat($30), so we can be sure he gets lots of parts, and they can afford to make everything modular like the original.

To help make sure he sells well, hold a contest with a few awesome prizes (like a 1 year Club Eternia subscription for example). The contest would be to create the craziest Modulok monster out of multiple Moduloks. So you'll get a bunch of added sales of folks buying multiple Moduloks to enter the contest.

Would it put you off the figures? would you buy figures you might normally pass on to complete modulok? or would you not care either way?

I would buy fewer figures.

Build-A-Figure/Collect-And-Connect, while I don't care for them, I understand their purpose in a mass market toyline that may have shelf-warming figures people are on the fence about. However, when the closest thing we have to a shelf-warmer right now is a bonus figure that takes just about 2 weeks to sell out, it's generally pointless.

Besides, I'd rather just pay the money to have the pieces of Modulok all at once.

Or, I could just have someone customize my three red Parademons into a Modulok.

Noooooo!

Oh Yeah, I wanna pay $700.00 for Modulok! NOT!
I love Modulok as probably one of the most inovative toys of all times, long befor Bionicles & Stikfas, but that would be the most horrible way to get one I could imagine!

I'm against the BAF idea for Modulok or Multi-Bot. I'd much rather see each one released on their own as a large scale figure (like Battle Cat) in a single highly articulated form (preferrably the main large version as pictured on the front of the 80's box). I know there are supposed to beasts of a thousand bodies, but seeing as this line puts articulation first with no action features, I'd prefer single highly articulated versions of each. I just hope that Mattel's quality control ensures that the joints are tight. I don't need the interchangeable parts as I display my collection much more then play with it.

I really hope Modulok isn't a BAF. I'd much rather him be an individual release in the Battle Cat size/price range. Not only would I hate to have to wait for a year or more to collect all the pieces, but I'd hate to have to buy each figure (even ones I'm not interested in) just because I want Modulok so badly.

modulok & multibot figures are probably not going to have the swappable parts option like the original toy in the 80s cuz its an action feature. that is fine with me as long as modulok & multibot comes out.

a stander ed figure with two heads (like too-bad) & four legs (like mantenna) with the tail would look fine.

they can re use too-bad's body for the two heads for modulok & the four legs of mantenna to save on re tooling.

I wouldn't exclude out the possiblity of not seeing Modulok in pieces. Not really an action feature as more as a characteristic. It really wouldn't be much effor for the 4H to start making parts to make him, but more of the tooling.

Because of that, I have some hope we'll be seeing him. Probably not in 2010 or 2011 but sometime.
